Mná na hÉireann / Women of Ireland Fund
Best Practice
Promoter Information:
Abstract:
Women of Ireland Fund is a €1.8 Million Fund over three years created by Rethink Ireland in partnership with Bank of America and the Department of Rural and Community Development via the Dormant Accounts Fund. The Mná na hÉireann, Women of Ireland Fund is the first fund in Ireland to support charities and social enterprises that seek to enhance the economic mobility of women and is designed specifically to equip these organisations to expand their business acumen, drive growth and deepen their impact across Ireland. Over the next three years, the Fund aims to empower 1,000 women to secure employment across Ireland. It is related to economic power because the Fund donates money directly to women to have a professional future in business. The Mná na hÉireann, Women of Ireland Recovery Fund is a continuation of the partnership with Bank of America to provide follow-on funding to Awardees from the Mná na hÉireann, Women of Ireland Fund. The purpose of this additional funding is to support projects to empower women into sustainable employment, acknowledging and addressing the additional barriers faced as a result of COVID-19, as well as responding to the changing labour market, and supporting projects to continue to scale, and increase their sustainability. The grant supports and empowers women to progress their education or progress into new or more sustainable employment.
